Newcastle Eye Burnley’s James Trafford in Summer Goalkeeper Reshuffle

James Trafford (Burnley)
March 2025

Newcastle United remain strongly interested in signing Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford ahead of the summer window as they prepare to overhaul their goalkeeping department.
Despite already having three senior keepers, manager Eddie Howe sees the 22-year-old—who has kept 27 clean sheets this season—as a long-term target. Man City hold a buy-back clause but aren’t expected to act on it.
